VideoPier

The link between your Mac & your camera

VideoPier instead will let you copy the files from you camcorders without requiring any conversion.

Why VideoPier?

VideoPier has been designed to make it easy to transfer video material from a camcorder to
your Mac. It was specifically designed for MPEG-2 camcorders, since those were not properly
handled on the Mac. The fundamental idea behind VideoPier was to copy the videos from the
camcorder WITHOUT doing any conversion and provide the conversion tools so that they
could be run on selected videos only.
The “no-need-for-conversion” argument is very important in some situations where the tools
provided by Apple (iMovie) impose a conversion that often dramatically increases the amount
of disk space needed to store the footage.
